Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method for managing the hardware device, comprising the hardware device manufacture and management, Wherein the steps of the said manufacture comprise: step 1: get the RFID internal serial number; step 2: generate the hardware ID number according to the said RFID internal serial number; step 3: generate the external sequence number of hardware according to the said RFID internal serial number; step 4: manufacture the hardware device with RFID internal serial number, hardware ID number and external sequence number; and the steps of the said management comprise: step 1: create a user database by the said RFID internal serial number; step 2: manage the hardware device by indexing RFID internal serial number, hardware ID number or external sequence number, specifically, when the hardware ID number of the hardware device needs to be corrected, search for the RFID internal serial number of the hardware device in the user database according to the internal information of the hardware device feedback by a legal user and modify the hardware ID number of the hardware device in the user database and send the modified hardware ID number back to the legal user; when the hardware device is broken, read the RFID internal serial number of the hardware device of the broken hardware device, obtain the hardware ID number and the external sequence number of the hardware device according to the read RFID internal serial number and manufacture a new hardware device according to the RFID internal serial number, the hardware ID number and the external sequence number.

2

2. The said method for managing the hardware device of claim 1 , wherein the said RFID is fixed inside hardware device in a way of physical binding and has the character of uniqueness.

3

3. The said method for managing the hardware device of claim 1 , wherein the said hardware ID number is the ID number corresponding to RFID internal serial number.

4

4. The said method for managing the hardware device of claim 1 , wherein the said hardware ID number is the associated ID number of RFID internal serial number.

5

5. The said method for managing the hardware device of claim 1 , wherein the process of generating the hardware ID number by RFID internal serial number is completed outside hardware device.

6

6. The said method for managing the hardware device of claim 1 , wherein the process of generating the hardware ID number by RFID internal serial number is completed inside hardware device.

7

7. The said method for managing the hardware device of claim 1 , wherein the said external sequence number is the ID number corresponding to RFID internal serial number of the hardware device.

8

8. The said method for managing the hardware device of claim 1 , wherein the said external sequence number is the associated ID number of RFID internal serial number.

9

9. The said method for managing the hardware device of claim 4 or 8 , wherein the said association is realized by the one-way algorithm.

10

10. The said method for managing the hardware device of claim 9 , wherein the said one-way algorithm includes MD5, HMAC, SHA-1, HASH, CRC, SHA-256, MD4 or MD2.

11

11. The said method for managing the hardware device of claim 4 or 8 , wherein the said association is realized by two-way algorithm.

12

12. The said method for managing the hardware device of claim 11 , wherein the two-way algorithm includes DES, 3DES, RC4, AES, RSA, ECC or TEA.

13

13. The said method for managing the hardware device of claim 1 , wherein recording the hardware external sequence number on the hardware device can be carried out by: 1) burning the number on the hardware device by laser; 2) spraying the said sequence number on the hardware device; or 3) printing the said sequence number on label and put the label on the hardware device.

14

14. The said method for managing the hardware device of claim 1 , wherein the said user database includes RFID internal serial number, hardware ID number or hardware external sequence number.

15

15. The said method for managing the hardware device of claim 1 , wherein the user database is built by the way that RFID reader directly reads RFID internal serial number, or built by the generated hardware ID number or sequence number after reading RFID internal serial number.
